The Martini Henry Rifles

The Welsh trio better known as The Martini Henry Rifles make a sound that is difficult to describe or categorize. With noise and punk influences (like Brainiac) they managed to create a unique noisy sound, very characteristical of the band.

Their story dates back to late 2000. Cez Mathias and Jason Lorch put up an advert to find musicians on a record shop. Chris Warlow responds and some months later Fudge Wilson joins to complete the line-up. They start using the name Luxinterior until April 2001, when The Martini Henry Rifles are finally born. In November 2001 they release the limited edition of their single Kill/Summer/Shit. It attracts the attention of Sean McClusky, who releases the Martinis Luger 6000 single and becomes their manager. The band featured on manager Sean McClusky's Sonic Mook Experiment compilation Future Rock & Roll.
